Just another update

It’s amazing how much work is involved in developing a game with a team. Communication is of the upmost importance if you want to create something decent. Communication can be done in code, something we’re always reminded of on a daily basis yet I forget to do from time to time. One small comment can make a difference. More of these little things and it makes a big difference. So, a tip for the three or so viewers, comment EVERYTHING. It may seem straight forward but there will be times where you’re in a rush to complete something and five seconds worth of a comment may seem like a very long time. However, five seconds there can potentially save your team five hours down the track.


I noticed a comment about the level editor so I thought I’d do a little update. The level editor in its current state is usable, but far from completion. It would be nice to be able to provide the player’s with the ability to mod the game as they wish, as some of the best multiplayer games out at the moment are mods from the public. But I don’t think we’ll have the time to create something that fancy, nor did we intend to build the editor to do so at the moment.

Before I head back, just a reminder, keep the comments/questions rolling. Any input is appreciated, especially when it gives me something to write about.

Cheers
